Game 3 of the Western Conference finals is tonight at Memphis’ FedEx Forum. The Spurs have a 2-0 lead and are looking to push the Grizzlies against the ropes.

It won’t be easy. Memphis has won 19 of its last 20 games at home, and have not lost three games in a row of any sort since the Jan. 30 trade that sent Rudy Gay to Toronto.

“They’re a tough team, and they play very well at home,” Spurs point guard Tony Parker said. “It’s going to be a war. We have to be ready for that.”

The Spurs, of course, recall what happened in last year’s conference finals, when they took a 2-0 lead with them to Oklahoma City only to drop four in a row and lose the series.

Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard said the team learned a valuable lesson in that series.

“Try to win Game 3,” he said.

It’s good advice. No team in NBA history has climbed out of an 0-3 playoff hole. Leonard said he believed the Spurs “lost a little focus” after going up 2-0 last season. Parker said he aims not to let that happen again.

He notes the Grizzlies have rallied from series deficits in each round of the playoffs so far.

“Memphis is used to coming back,” Parker said. “They did it against OKC, they did it against the Clippers. So we know they’re very tough mentally and they can come back. For us, we have to take nothing for granted and come into this game trying to do the same stuff that was successful in the first two games.”

Here are some more notes from this morning’s workout at the FedEx Forum:

* Several Grizzlies players admitted the Spurs’ aggressive defense has made them hesitant to pull the trigger on 3-point shots. Memphis’ starting five has attempted only six 3-point shots in the first two games, making two — both by Mike Conley. Leonard was asked if the Spurs’ defenders have perhaps gotten in the Grizzlies’ heads. ““I guess so, if they’re saying that,” Leonard said. “You shouldn’t be hesitant shooting the ball. I guess we are in their head a little bit.”

* Parker said the three days off since Game 2 have helped rejuvenate him. The Spurs’ point guard has been playing with a bruised left calf suffered in the Golden State series on May 10. Leonard, meanwhile, said the time off didn’t do much for his perpetually balky left knee. “Like I’ve said, it’s going to take a long off-season for my knee to feel better,” Leonard said. “There’s still pain in there but I’m just riding it out.”

* Memphis coach Lionel Hollins seemed to support the NBA’s decision to fine his guard, Tony Allen, for flopping after being fouled by Manu Ginobili near the end of regulation in Game 2. Yet Hollins also said he believes game officials were correct in assessing Ginobili with a flagrant foul.

“I don’t think what happened had anything to do with the referee calling a flagrant foul, because he grabbed him out of the air,” Hollins said. “Whether he hit his head or didn’t hit his head, he grabbed him out of the air.”

Parker, meanwhile, was hesitant to label Allen’s play a flop at all. “In a basketball game, where everything goes fast, I don’t think anybody is faking,” Parker said. “You take some hard fouls. It’s hard to judge. You just have to go with what the NBA says and that’s it.”
